My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
My experience allows me to partner with my patients to provide a personalized and academic approach. My prior research and teaching history has focused on hypertension, cardiovascular health and prevention. As a private doctor, I have the time that is needed to help each of my patients be well and stay well. Imagine a practice where you come first - my passion is to make that a reality. The individualized attention offered in my office is helping my patients take charge of their health and achieve their goals. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time.
I am affiliated with Boston Medical Center Hospital. Although most of my primary care patients reside in greater Boston, I see patients from all over New England.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Tifft
Dr Tifft is the most caring Doctor and Man I have ever met. He is always there for me and I will guarantee He is there for
each and everyone of His Patients.
I am happy to see that Dr. Tifft has received Top Doctor award by Castle Connolly. I was searching for a new GP and my urologist referred me to Dr. Tifft. He takes his time at examinations to get to know his patients. I trust he cares about my well-being. He also happened to save my life. When I was experiencing unusual heartburn symptoms, he ordered comprehensive tests that led me to be… See more
I've been a patient of Dr. Tiift for decades. I've personally experienced his dedication to me and other patients. I've also experienced him helping people( especially but not exclusively) police officers who weren't his patients when they needed help. He puts the needs of his patients as a priority, sometimes at the expense of his family's personal time together.… See more
Over the last couple years I contracted shingles , the next year a tick bite and this year fluctuating blood pressure readings - - each time I called, Dr Tifft made room in his schedule to see me same day and prescribed the correct remedy - - I think Dr Tifft follows Coach Bill Belicheck 's modus operandi "no days off".
Dr Charles Tifft has been my Primary Care Doctor for over 30 years. Always caring. Always gets RIGHT BACK TO ME in emergency call. Always thorough. Patiently explains and answers/ refers when needed. Gives me the feeling of having a safety net in place when needed. Thank you, DR.Tifft.

Dr. Tifft has been my PCP for over 20 years. He is the best PCP I have ever had. He takes the time to sit with you and review your results in detail. He is very responsive to texts and calls when you have a concern or a question. He is a physician who truly cares about his patients. After my last physical, when I met with him to review my results, he took the time to research a test I had… See more
